The chance of the 2,000 proteins in simple bacteria to form
coincidentally is 1 in 10 40,000 . Since the number of different pro-
teins in the human body is 200,000, nothing can put this im-
probability into perspective.
Chandra Wickramasinghe, Professor of Applied
Mathematics and Astronomy at Cardiff University, has this to
say about Shapiro’s calculation:
The likelihood of the spontaneous formation of life from inani-
mate matter is one to a number with 10 40,000 noughts after it…It is
big enough to bury Darwin and the whole theory of evolution.
There was no primeval soup, neither on this planet nor on any
other, and if the beginnings of life were not random, they must
therefore have been the product of purposeful intelligence. 53
